Prince Harry Absent from Buckingham Palace Balcony During Trooping the Colour

Prince Harry is reportedly feeling remorseful for not being present on the Buckingham Palace balcony during the Trooping the Colour, according to a Royal biographer.

This comes after the Prince's military titles and uniform were taken away, with Harry marking the occasion by wearing a dark suit at the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.

Royal author Tom Bower has claimed that Harry should have been on the balcony at Buckingham Palace and suggested that he has lost his way, insinuating that it was the influence of Meghan Markle that caused him to distance himself from the Royal Family.

Mr Bower told Dan Wootten tonight on GB News, “Harry should have been on parade, he should have been in uniform.

That's what his whole life was about.

Meghan, in that sense, has undermined him completely and set him on the track against his own family.”

The Sussexes watched on during the Trooping the Colour from the Major General's office, overlooking Horse Guards Parade, rather than having an active role.

They were missing from the Buckingham Palace balcony afterwards as this was reserved for working Royals.

Meghan was pictured during the Trooping the Colour wearing a wide-brimmed cream hat with a navy ribbon and Mr Bower claimed that she was trying to grab attention, stating, “I thought it was extraordinary how she thrust herself at the window with an oversized hat and a big smile and lowered the window of the car so she could be seen.

And here is this woman who hasn't apologised for all the lies she told on Oprah Winfrey and all the terrible trouble she has caused the Royal Family, not least the racist allegations, and she just comes over here to promote herself.”

The couple's ability to recover and get into the limelight will be interesting to see, as this is what they badly need for their own financial status as Royals in America.

Harry's controversial decision to step down as a senior working royal led to him being barred from holding royal titles, which included Honorary Air Commandant of RAF Honington in Suffolk and Commodore-in-Chief, small ships, and diving Royal Naval Command.

He also had his role as Captain General of the Royal Marines taken from him as part of the Megxit deal that saw him and Meghan quitting Britain for America.

The Prince was said to have urged the Queen to let him keep his titles, but the plan for him to be half in, half out of the Royal Family was vetoed.

Harry had also wanted to maintain the title of Captain General of the Royal Marines but was unable to do so.

The moves were said to leave him devastated as he twice served in Afghanistan and supports wounded veterans through his Invictus Games event.

Harry's lack of uniform was in stark contrast to the military-linked finery sported by senior royals and those involved in the trooping of the colour.

He has been allowed to wear his Operational Service Medal for Afghanistan and those for the Queen's Golden and Diamond Jubilees at events since he was stripped of his honorary military titles.

Among the decorations on his military uniform were his Army Air Corps wings, which he received in 2010 upon completion of advanced helicopter training.

He normally wore these on his left side, above the military medals.

The Queen was said to have long insisted it was not sustainable for Harry and Meghan to be half in, half out of the Royal Family after starting a new life in California.

A source told the Times in 2021, “there was no choice.

The reality of not being able to have their cake and eat it is finally dawning on him.

I am sure it is really painful for him.

He is very upset to be in this spot.

You cannot confuse representing the institution and the head of state with the sort of commercial operations that they intend to run.”

Prince Harry's absence from the Buckingham Palace balcony during the Trooping the Colour has caused much speculation.
